Shovel Ready
Brightline West will be America’s first true high-speed passenger rail system. The modern, eco-friendly system will redefine train travel in America and connect two of our most iconic destinations: Las Vegas and Southern California.
This 218-mile passenger rail service will operate from Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga, California, with 96% of its alignment within the median of the I-15 highway.
Today, nearly 50 million annual trips occur between Los Angeles and Las Vegas – over 85% of them by car – a trip which is unpredictable, unreliable and challenged by congestion. Brightline West expects to serve more than 11 million one-way passengers annually.
This project is shovel-ready and expected to break ground in Spring 2024.
Our Trains
Our all-electric, zero emission trains will be equipped with state-of-the-art amenities. Trains will be capable of reaching top speeds of 200 mph, getting passengers from Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga in about 2 hours and 10 minutes (2x faster than the normal drive time).
